Kathleen Stefik, a 59-year-old Trump voter, said she personally feels the hostility from Canadians and has curbed her own trips to Canada in response.

Good.

While she agrees with some of Trump’s policies, including on immigration, she acknowledges that his rhetoric about Canada has been damaging. “What a jerk … shut up, just stop. Be a president, act like a president.”

I mean ... she endorsed a man that tried to overthrow the democratic process. I bet she was laughing at all the other shit he did until it affected her. She expects him to "act like a president"? What world are these people living in?

It's weird. He has never once acted like a president. That's why they voted for him.

I don’t even know this lady and I’m hostile towards her.

[–] pentastarm@piefed.ca 17 points 1 month ago

And it's all the nicer here without her.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

She better stay home anyways.

course we don't want to go there anymore. Why would I willingly step foot in a country where I could potentially be detained by nazi's for the simple fact I'm Canadian. Plus...I mean why would I even want to go to a country full of Nazi's? fuck that.

step foot

And a bone apple tea to you!

step foot

Eh. That’s not correct? I’ve heard it said my whole life.

I always loved visiting the US, especially when we could cross the border freely. And then came the passports, which started a slight decline and a little more of a hassle, and then came Trump, who has a hate-on for Canada. That change pushed the friendship over the edge. Why would a Canadian deliberately put themselves through the humiliation, the fingerprinting and now the DNA test to cross that border?

Not exactly. I want to. I'm just not going to.

Ah yes, the Finding Out stage, eh?

On the one hand, yeah it'll punish Americans a bit as they deserve.

On the other hand, Democrats will feel more entitled than ever to do nothing to win. So evidently Americans haven't been punished enough.
